MANCHESTER — Paulson Papillon, 23, could enter no plea Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to felony charges of possession of a narcotic drug and falsifying physical evidence. Papillon is accused of stomping his feet while in the police transport wagon in an effort to get rid of heroin in his sock.

Papillon had been arrested on three misdemeanor charges of simple assault that allege he slapped a woman in the face three times and a misdemeanor of reckless conduct that alleges the slaps caused the woman’s head to bump the head of the one-and-a-half year old child in her arms.

Papillon pleaded innocent to the misdemeanors and trial was set for Jan. 24, 2013. A probable cause hearing on the felonies was set for Nov. 8.

Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier requested $25,000 cash/surety bail for Papillon, noting his criminal record includes a 2011 Somerville, Mass., conviction for possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell.

Stolen checks cashed

A city man could enter no plea Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a felony forgery charge that alleges he cashed a forged check Oct. 6 at St. Mary’s Bank, 839 Hanover St.

Police said Brian Lynch, 20, of 293 Rhode Island Ave., cashed a check stolen from a relative. Conditions of Lynch’s $1,000 cash/surety bail bar him from contact with the relative, going to the relative’s address or going to any St. Mary’s Bank branch.

A probable cause hearing on the felony charge was set for Nov. 7.
